The unusual 6-point whitetail scored an amazing 216 1/8 points (nontypical net score), leaving some to believe it may not be the mount of a real deer. And, some of those who believe the rack is real were led to believe it was the largest nontypical 3x3 rack ever scored by B&C.

Here's what the club said:

"It's gone viral on social media, raising questions about whether it's real or faked. We've verified it's real, and here's the score chart [see at end of file] and a couple of images to satisfy the doubters," the club posted on its web site. "There have also been rumors that it's a record 6-point frame, however that's not the case. A hunter-taken buck from Illinois in 1991 takes that prize with a score of 242 7/8."

According to this report in the Oklahoman newspaper, hunter Brad Julian Jr. took the rack to a recent trade show in Oklahoma to get it scored by B&C scorer George Moore.
